Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 286 Has the Case Been Solved?

The old lady committed suicide.

In front of Ye Shaohong and the old lady of the Sun family, without either of them noticing, she ended her own life.

This also brought an end to the filth and depravity of the Sun family.

With her death, the courtyard, which had been noisy all night, fell silent instantly.

Ye Shaohong was slightly taken aback.

Then he turned and looked at Doctor Zhou.

"Go over and take a look."

From the moment Zhou Haichao brought him into the Sun family home, Doctor Zhou had been cowering in the crowd, fearing that someone would jump out and attack him at any moment. Now, seeing the eldest mistress die before everyone's eyes and hearing Ye Shaohong's orders, Doctor Zhou trembled and instinctively wanted to hide.

But where would he get the chance?

In the eyes of ordinary people, Dr. Zhou is a well-known figure on the street.

We should treat others with respect and deference.

But in the eyes of Ye Shaohong and his companions, in this chaotic era, his fate was like that of an ant.

They have no control over their own lives.

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's words and turning back to see Doctor Zhou's timid and frightened appearance, Zhou Haichao immediately raised his eyebrows.

Just a few days ago, he was still keeping a close watch on Dr. Zhou.

At this moment, Zhou Haichao no longer looked at him directly.

Zhou Haichao stepped forward, grabbed Dr. Zhou by the collar, and dragged him toward the body of the old lady.

Ye Shaohong frowned, but ultimately did not offer any advice or dissuasion.

"Sir... Commander."

What do you want me to see?

Dr. Zhou was grabbed by the collar and thrown to the ground by Zhou Haichao. In his panic and helplessness, he looked up at Ye Shaohong and asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Dr. Zhou, don't be afraid."

"I called you here so you could help me determine the exact cause of her death!"

Zhuang Yifan actually knew a bit about examining corpses, but the cause of death of the Great Madam was too unusual; she died bleeding from all seven orifices.

It's obvious that they've been poisoned.

This kind of situation is beyond the capabilities of Zhuang Yifan's limited martial arts training. He needs a professional to examine him carefully.

Only after the inspection could Ye Shaohong write down the specific reasons when writing the case closure report and submit it to the verification personnel above.

"oh oh."

"Ok."

"I'll check it right away!"

Ye Shaohong's attitude calmed Dr. Zhou's panicked mind a little. He took a deep breath and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, carefully examined the body of the eldest grandmother.

A moment later, Dr. Zhou stood up again.

"Sir, the inspection is complete."

"Grandma is indeed dead."

"She died of poisoning. I can't identify the specific poison, but I can confirm one thing: the poison she was poisoned with was the same as the poison that General Sun Yihui was poisoned with."

After all, he was just an ordinary doctor in a rural market, and with his limited knowledge and experience, this was all he could glean.

That's enough.

Through Dr. Zhou's words, Ye Shaohong confirmed one thing.

That is the truth behind Sun Yihui's death, which is consistent with what the grandmother said.

He truly did die at the hands of his grandmother.

Otherwise, the eldest madam wouldn't have carried such a deadly poison with her. It's just unknown whether she made the poison herself or if it was given to her by Japanese spies.

But none of that matters anymore.

Having resolved Ye Shaohong's doubts and brought the case of Sun Yihui's death to a conclusion, the current chain of evidence was sufficient.

Just as Ye Shaohong was pondering this, the old lady beside him, leaning on her dragon-headed cane, walked to the side of the eldest grandmother's body. Her face was filled with undisguised hatred. She first touched the eldest grandmother's body with her dragon-headed cane, then tilted her head back and spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the eldest grandmother's body.

"Pooh!"

"You wretched woman, you brought this upon yourself."

"Don't think that this matter is over just because you're dead. You've harmed the Sun family, and you must pay the price for it."

"Just wait, it won't be long before I send your parents and brother down to join you."

The old lady still didn't see the situation clearly. She thought that the death of the eldest daughter-in-law meant that the matter was over, but little did she know that colluding with the enemy and betraying the country was a serious crime.

Although it is now the Republic of China, the crime of punishing nine generations of relatives no longer exists.

However, since the Sun family secretly colluded with the Japanese, they should also be punished.

Once Ye Shaohong reports today's events to the Special Service Headquarters, the vast Sun family will no longer have any reason to exist.

All of the Sun family's property will be confiscated and wiped out.

By then, how will she deal with the Wei family, the maternal clan of the eldest grandmother?

What a joke.

The Wei family will also have their property confiscated.

Ye Shaohong understood these things clearly, but he didn't tell anyone because there was no need to.

The old lady of the Sun family was secretly plotting against him, and Ye Shaohong had no good feelings towards her, so naturally he wouldn't kindly remind her.

After the old lady had vented her anger, Ye Shaohong ordered Zhuang Yifan to take men to collect the body of the eldest mistress, planning to bring it back to Hanyang County the next day to have a professional doctor examine the poison she had ingested. He then ordered Zhou Haichao to take men into custody of the Sun family members.

This greatly displeased the old lady.

She turned around angrily, narrowed her eyes, and stared intently at Ye Shaohong.

"Commissioner Ye, what do you mean by this?"

"The perpetrators have already been brought to justice. Do you still intend to implicate others?"

Faced with the stern questioning of the old lady of the Sun family, Ye Shaohong smiled coldly, having lost all interest in continuing the conversation.

When Ye Shaohong learned from his grandmother that Sun Yihui had colluded with the Japanese, he had already judged the Sun family members' crimes and decided their fate.

Later, upon hearing that the old lady, knowing Sun Yihui was colluding with the Japanese, did not punish him but only wanted him to find her kidnapped second son, Ye Shaohong's disgust for the Sun family intensified. He was already being quite lenient by simply having them controlled.

If Zhou Haichao had been in charge of this matter, given his venomous nature, the Sun family wouldn't have made it through the night.

With a raised eyebrow and a glance at the crowd, Ye Shaohong led Yu Manli out of the courtyard where the eldest grandmother lived.

After returning to the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying, another person came to his door.

It's Li Yunlong.

It was also in the courtyard of the eldest grandmother that he fired five shots, eliminating the threat to Ye Shaohong and his companions' lives posed by the old lady's guards.

Now that Li Yunlong has come to visit again, he must have something to report to Ye Shaohong.

That's the case too.

Upon meeting Ye Shaohong, Li Yunlong immediately relayed a message to him: the group of people who had met with the eldest madam at Jiuzhen Temple a few days ago were planning to escape that night.

Li Yunlong noticed this and immediately found Captain Zhu of the Hanyang County Police Bureau, who led his men to arrest and control them.

Those people are now being held in the jail of the Hanyang County Police Bureau.

Li Yunlong came back today to seek Ye Shaohong's opinion on how to deal with these criminals suspected of being Japanese spies! "The Sun family's storyline is finished, but this case is not over yet!"

I deliberately left two foreshadowing elements here.

We will fill in the gaps one by one in the next step.

Can anyone figure it out? Let's all guess!
